This is the processor I have and am going to use in my PC build. I just want to know some specs on it. The site I bought it from said the bus speed was 1600 MHz, other sites say 800 MHz. What is it?

I know it isn't the best and it's using the older 754 socket, but I am building my PC on a tight budget. I am making the switch from Intel to AMD, so let me know what I can expect when I get the rest of the parts to finish it. Thanks.

No and the DFI supports 1600mhz. The 3700+ is the best you can get for S754 so if your on a tight budget and already have it then its a good deal. The only difference between S939 and S754 thats noticeable is the memory controler. One uses dual channel ram the other (754) dosent. Its pretty good so dont sweat it.
